Chapter 206: Volume 1 Chapter 206 Mermaid? Merperson? (23)

The speed at which the blackening value decreased was like a rocket; now even half of it can barely be sustained.

Tomorrow is the time for school to start, and she received an unexpected phone call.

It was the male lead, Chen Qi Bai, who called.

"Where are you?" came his low, pleasant voice from the receiver, somewhat weak and urgent.

Jiang Zhi took the phone away, bewildered, and after seriously looking at the caller ID on the screen, she immediately asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Qi Bai hadn't expected that she hadn't saved his phone number; he paused for a few seconds and said, "I'm Chen Qi Bai."

Jiang Zhi felt the gaze of the merperson sitting on the sofa watching TV, and her body stiffened slightly.

"May I ask if you have something?"

Chen Qi Bai said, "These past few days I've been receiving treatment abroad; I didn't have time to call you, sorry."

"It's not… why are you apologizing to me?" Jiang Zhi didn't say that out loud, held back, and asked, "What's wrong?"

From the other end of the receiver came the first question again: "Where are you?"

Jiang Zhi said, "At home."

Chen Qi Bai: "Send me your address; I want to meet you in person."

The merperson, whose hearing surpassed that of ordinary people, quickly walked up to her, his long fingers gently pinching her nape, his expression inscrutable, hinting at a hint of danger.

Jiang Zhi quickly said into the receiver, "I don't have time now; let's talk later."

Having said that, she hung up the phone, heart pounding with anxiety.

She felt that if they kept talking, the merperson before her would soon go through the receiver to take the male lead's life.

A Tan casually remarked, "It seems Zhizhi knows him quite well; as soon as his injury healed, he wanted to meet you."

That sarcastic remark fell into her ears; looking at the jealous merperson, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A Tan frowned, "What are you laughing at? Is that ugly human really worth making you this happy?"

Could it be that chatting with Chen Qi Bai makes her so happy she laughs?

The more she thought about it, the angrier A Tan became; she wished she could end that ugly human right now!

Jiang Zhi deliberately said, "In terms of appearance among humans, he belongs to the male god level."

Having watched dramas these past few days, A Tan knew what 'male god' meant; his dark eyes filled with a cold, murderous aura, he directly lifted the girl and pressed her against the wall, extending his long legs so she could sit on his thigh, expressionless: "Am I not good-looking? Not as good as him…"

Before he could finish, Jiang Zhi leaned forward, brought her face close to his, and kissed his lips, cutting off his words.

After a few seconds, she stepped back, looked at him seriously, and said, "You are the best-looking person I have ever seen; no one surpasses you."

"I only like you, A Tan."

A Tan paused slightly; an astonishing crimson spread from his neck to the side of his face. That visage, as beautiful as a deity's, flashed a brief surprise, then he suddenly gripped the back of her head and kissed her.

Jiang Zhi's tongue base ached from his suction; the merperson licked and nibled at her like a feral wolf that had starved for a thousand years.

The kiss lasted a long time; when she could no longer hold herself up and was about to slip from his thigh, the merperson finally released her, his fingertips brushing her lips, then tirelessly pressing against the tip of her nose, his voice sexy and hoarse: "Zhizhi, don't leave me."

Jiang Zhi's vision blurred as she wrapped her arms around his neck, answering affirmatively.

Afternoon.

She brought A Tan to the phone shop, bought him a new phone, and taught him how to use it.

"Just keep pressing the number 1, and you'll be able to call me."

A Tan had read books and watched dramas for a long time, so he knew how to use it, but he still listened to her words and pretended not to understand, saying, "Is that how it works?"

Jiang Zhi nodded, took his finger and pointed at the screen, "Besides calling, there are many other functions."

She taught him everything for a long time, without noticing that her whole body had sunk into his embrace; the merperson hugged her from behind, his tall, straight figure casting a shadow that enveloped her, revealing a deep possessiveness.

Outside, A Tan wore a mask covering half his face; to outsiders, only his model-perfect physique was visible, while the girl in his arms leaned like a little bird, making them appear very affectionate.

After finishing the lesson, Jiang Zhi realized they were being overly affectionate, and being out in public made it inappropriate, so she stepped forward to increase the distance between them.

"Do you understand?"

A Tan wouldn't let her retreat; he grabbed her hand hidden in her sleeve, leaned in close to her ear, and asked, "Don't you like me holding you?"

His blunt words made Jiang Zhi's face flush and her heart race; she reached out to cover his mouth and abruptly changed the subject: "Let's go back."

A Tan's thin lips parted slightly, and his cold, wet tongue licked her palm.

Jiang Zhi felt the slippery sensation on her palm, took a deep breath, looked at the merperson squinting his eyes and smiling contentedly, withdrew her hand, blushing, and said, "Go home!"

They returned home; since they had to get up early for school tomorrow, Jiang Zhi stopped his intimate actions, saying, "Not today!"

A Tan lowered his eyelids slightly, a faint haze appearing over his brows and eyes, and said rather understandingly, "Hmm, I understand."

Jiang Zhi looked at him half-believing, half-doubting; seeing that he truly gave up his actions, she felt relieved and said, "Then tonight we'll both sleep on the bed."

In a corner she couldn't see, a dark hue flickered in A Tan's eyes.

The bedroom only had one bed; she couldn't let him sleep on the floor or the sofa, or she'd feel guilty.

Night fell.

Jiang Zhi flipped through the professional books the original owner had left on the bookshelf; tomorrow she had to go to class, and no matter what she had to finish the original owner's coursework.

This wasn't difficult for her; seeing it was ten p. m., she rubbed her sore arms, lowered her head, and saw the merperson beside her already asleep with eyes closed.

He fell asleep that quickly?

She somewhat unexpectedly put down the book, turned off the light, and lay down.

As she was about to fall asleep, an arm suddenly slipped through the gap and wrapped around her waist; Jiang Zhi didn't think much of it at first, but gradually realized something was off, as that hand roamed everywhere on her waist.

Heat surged under the covers, except the merperson beside her remained slightly cool; Jiang Zhi still reached out to stop his movements, panting, "I want to sleep, A Tan!"

The merperson pressed his whole body against her, holding her sideways in an intimate embrace, his voice low and gentle, with the merperson's characteristic ethereal clarity: "I'm not doing anything; I just want to hold you while I sleep."

No one would believe that. Jiang Zhi thought that.

Sure enough, not long after, she could no longer tolerate the merperson's teasing; she propped herself up, straddled him, grabbed his face with both hands, and said fiercely in a domineering CEO line: "Man, provoke me and you'll regret it!"

Atang's face, like hoarfrost, was calm and waveless; his black eyes, merged with the night, were filled with endless desire, like a bloodthirsty tiger leopard lying in wait, as if it would devour her in the next moment.

He gave a light chuckle, his ink-colored brows slightly raised, lying flat as if awaiting slaughter, "Mm, I'm so scared."

Jiang Zhi tore open his clothes, her slender fingers stroking his abdomen covered with hard scales, the texture clearly visible, forming sexy, beautiful abs, the mermaid line not passing the waist, every inch as if meticulously carved, making one unable to let go.
